Geared up for CampNano

Got your tea, your trail mix, plenty of pens and paper?

It's probably a little late to be saying that Camp Nanowrimo is currently in session. This is April after all and we're already into the third week, but I just want to encourage writers to write. You don't necessarily need to join and make an account, but know that during this month, there are writers across the world working on projects.

I think it's fun, but I like the tools for tracking stats of a story or the fact that we're sorted into "cabins" in the beginning. You get a chatroom of strangers together and some interesting conversations will occur, as long as you've got some chatty people of course.

Camp Nano is sometimes more fun, because there is less stress to write 50,000 words. You don't even have to make that your goal. You can design your project goal as anything that you want and control the numerical goal of words, pages, hours, etc....

You can also do word sprints, where you set a timer and then write non-stop for however long and if you need some help, there are prompt generators that will spew random ideas at you. All in a days work, speaking of which - I need to start writing today, if I want to reach my goal!
